As home aesthetics continue to evolve, floor TV stands have become a preferred choice for modern households thanks to their flexibility and design appeal. To ensure your TV Stand remains in excellent condition and operates safely for years to come, regular care is essential.
The following professional maintenance recommendations have been compiled by the FITUEYES R&D and After-Sales teams to help you get the most out of your product.
I. Daily Cleaning: The Secret to a Long-Lasting Finish
Cleaning is not just about appearance; it also prevents dust build-up that can interfere with adjustable parts and swivel mechanisms.
Safety First: Before cleaning, switch off your TV and unplug it from the mains to avoid static electricity or accidental shocks.
Choosing the Right Tools:
- Metal & Wood Components: Use a soft, slightly damp microfibre cloth. Avoid cleaners containing alcohol, strong alkalis, or harsh chemicals, as these may damage the powder-coated finish or cause wood discolouration.
- Tempered Glass Base: Use a dedicated glass cleaner with a dry cloth to gently remove fingerprints and water marks.
Detail Cleaning: Dust can easily collect in swivel joints, height adjustment holes, and cable management tubes. Use a soft brush or a handheld vacuum to clean these areas.
Note: Do not let water enter the swivel joints. For squeaking noises, a small spray of rust-protective lubricant can help.
II. Material-Specific Care: Tailored Maintenance by Material
FITUEYES TV Stands are crafted from high-quality materials. Targeted care can significantly extend their lifespan.
- Wood Protection: If your TV Stand includes solid wood or wood veneer, keep it away from radiators, fireplaces, or direct air conditioning. Extreme temperature changes can cause cracking or warping.
- Preventing Metal Oxidation: In coastal or high-humidity environments, we recommend wiping the metal columns with a dry cloth once a month to keep surfaces dry and prevent minor oxidation.
- Cable Management & Airflow: When organising cables, avoid tying them too tightly. Leave a little slack to protect internal wiring and ensure smooth, unobstructed swivel movement.
III. Regular Maintenance: Ensuring Structural Stability
As your TV Stand supports valuable electronic equipment, structural integrity is essential.
- Quarterly Screw Check: Every three months, inspect the bolts at all connection points—especially where the VESA plate connects to the column. If any looseness is detected, tighten using the supplied tools.
- Smooth Movement Check: Periodically rotate the stand or adjust the height to ensure smooth operation. If resistance occurs, apply a small amount of dry lubricant to the joints. Avoid oil-based lubricants, as they tend to attract dust.
- Surface Touch-Ups: If the painted surface becomes scratched, address it promptly to prevent moisture exposure. For wooden parts, a furniture repair pen can be used to match the colour.
IV. Troubleshooting Common Issues
- Is your TV Stand slightly wobbling?
Ensure the stand is placed on an even surface. Most FITUEYES stands feature adjustable feet—simply rotate them to stabilise the stand. - Increased swivel resistance?
Check whether cables inside the management tube are tangled or if debris has entered the swivel joint. - Difficulty adjusting height?
Ensure the safety lock is fully released before making adjustments.
Tip: For safety reasons, never attempt to adjust the height alone while the TV is still mounted.
- Trouble hiding cables?
Different models use different cable management systems (external clips vs internal channels). Refer to your instruction manual for model-specific routing guidance. - Tilt or swivel won’t stay in place?
This is usually caused by loose screws over time. Re-tighten the relevant bolts to restore proper tension. - Wheels not moving smoothly?
Check for hair or debris caught in the castors. If your stand has locking brakes, make sure they are fully released before moving.

V. Usage Precautions for a Safe Home
- Do not Overload: Always ensure that your TV does not exceed the maximum weight capacity specified in the installation instructions or on the FITUEYES product page.
- Balance & Centre of Gravity: When adjusting angles, hold both sides of the TV and apply even pressure. Avoid sudden or jerky movements.
- Family & Pet Safety: Proper cable management is not just about appearance—it helps prevent trips and reduces the risk of the TV tipping over. If you have pets, regularly check the base for hair build-up.
